Hi!
I'm currently a Filipino high school senior planning on applying to university in Japan for SY 25-26. I was wondering what I can expect in terms of life in Japan and culture around foreign students. The area I plan on studying in is Sendai.
Some questions I have:
How are living expenses in this area?
As someone from a middle class family, (<3,000,000 PHP/year ≈ 55,000 USD/year ≈ 7,800,000 YEN/year) what sort of quality of life can I expect (assuming my family will not dump all of their money into this)?
How are foreign students, especially south east asians, treated?
In practice, how hard is it to get scholarships?
How is transportation for students on a budget?
Although my preferred course does not have it listed as a prerequisite, what can I expect as someone who has only begun learning Japanese a few months ago?
These are the questions that come to my mind at the moment. Any advice is greatly appreciated! And thanks in advance to those who may answer my questions!
